Our Playscape ServicesÂ
At Gadd Group, we're committed to creating play areas that inspire, educate, and delight.
Nature Play
Environmental Focus: Our nature play areas are designed with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability and preservation. We integrate natural elements such as rocks, logs, and plants to create a setting that immerses children in the beauty of the outdoors while fostering a deeper appreciation for the environment.
Educational Opportunities: Natural playgrounds encourage exploration, discovery, and learning about the natural world. Children have the opportunity to engage in hands-on experiences, such as digging, observing, and identifying.
Promotion of Physical Activity: Nature play encourages active, unstructured play, which has been shown to benefit physical and mental health. Climbing, balancing, and exploring natural terrain not only develops physical strength and coordination but also boosts confidence and creativity.
Handcrafted Play Equipment
In-House Craftsmanship: Our outdoor play equipment is handmade in-house using sustainably sourced hardwood materials. This ensures the highest quality and durability, as well as a unique and personalised touch to each piece.
Custom Design Options: We offer a wide range of custom design options to suit your specific preferences and space requirements. Whether you’re looking for a swing set, climbing frame or imaginative play elements, our playground designers can bring your sustainable playground ideas to life.
Professional Installation: Our playground builders handle the full installation of the play equipment, ensuring proper assembly and adherence to safety standards.Â
Sensory Garden
Multi-Sensory Experience: Our sensory gardens are thoughtfully designed to engage all the senses. Vibrant flowers and foliage provide visual stimulation, while wind chimes and water features create soothing sounds. Textured surfaces and fragrant plants offer tactile experiences, making the garden a sensory-rich environment for exploration and relaxation.
Inclusive Design: Sensory gardens can be tailored to accommodate various needs and preferences, making them suitable for a wide range of settings, including special needs facilities, elderly homes, hospitals, and schools. We collaborate closely with clients to design sensory gardens that cater to specific sensory requirements and promote inclusivity and accessibility for all users.
Habitat Garden
Wildlife-Friendly Features: Our habitat gardens are designed to attract and support local wildlife, including butterflies, birds, insects, and bees. We incorporate features such as bird baths, bird boxes, insect hotels, and beehives to provide food, shelter, and nesting opportunities for native species.
Biodiversity Enhancement: By creating diverse habitats within the garden, we help promote biodiversity and ecosystem health. Native plants selected for their suitability to the local climate and soil conditions attract a variety of pollinators and other beneficial wildlife, contributing to a thriving and balanced ecosystem.
Educational Opportunities: Wildlife gardens offer valuable educational opportunities for children and adults alike. Through observation and interaction with the garden’s inhabitants, visitors can learn about the importance of biodiversity and conservation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our therapeutic garden services.
What is the difference between a Playscape and a Playground?
While both Playscapes and Playgrounds provide spaces for children to engage in outdoor play, they differ in design, focus, and overall experience.
Design: Playgrounds typically consist of standardised play equipment such as swings, slides, and jungle gyms, often made from metal or plastic materials. In contrast, Playscapes are more nature-inspired and may incorporate elements like natural materials (wood, rocks, plants), sculptural features, and terrain variations to create a dynamic and immersive play environment.
Focus: Playgrounds often prioritise structured and predefined play activities, focusing on physical development and motor skills. Playscapes, on the other hand, emphasise unstructured, imaginative, and exploratory play, encouraging children to engage with their surroundings creatively and develop a deeper connection with nature.
Experience: Playgrounds offer a more traditional play experience, with designated areas for specific activities and age groups. Playscapes provide a more holistic and sensory-rich experience, blending play with elements of nature, such as sensory gardens, wildlife habitats, and natural landscapes, to stimulate imagination, curiosity, and environmental awareness.
What materials do you use for your play equipment?
As a leading playground builder specialising in eco-friendly playscapes, we prioritise sustainability and durability in our materials. Our custom play equipment, including wooden climbing frames, swing sets, and cubby houses, is crafted using high-quality, eco-friendly materials like sustainably sourced hardwood.
